Basingstoke Humanists members all have the opportunity to volunteer as individuals for\u00a0a number of\u00a0organisations. \u00a0 Below are some examples:<\/p>\n

Community work<\/b><\/h2>\n

Pastoral care forms part of the groups work in the community. \u00a0A on request visits can made to the group to provide support for those in hospitals, hospices and prisons.<\/p>\n

Education<\/b><\/h2>\n

Schools in Hampshire can make requests for the group to partake in assemblies, multi-faith days, religious education and debates. \u00a0 We can offer a secular view as a balance to religion within the Agreed Syllabus.<\/p>\n

Ceremonies<\/b><\/h2>\n

Many people know of the very personal and dignified non-religious\u00a0funerals<\/a> that humanists have conducted for many decades.<\/p>\n

Less well-known are our ceremonies to celebrate a\u00a0marriage, civil partnership<\/a> or to welcome a new baby<\/a> into the world.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7320b<\/a><\/p>\n

These memorable occasions are led by individual members of the group who have been trained, accredited and monitored as celebrants<\/a> by Humanist UK.<\/p>\n

Partner Groups<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Basingstoke Humanists is a partner group of the Humanist UK<\/a><\/p>\n
